In the wake of an attempted assassination on former President Donald Trump this past weekend, Tim Kennedy, a Special Forces Sniper and Green Beret, shared his unfiltered thoughts on the situation.
In an emergency episode with Chris Williamson, Kennedy provided a raw, no-ads, no-edits discussion on what happened and the broader implications.
A Chilling Event
Kennedy described the events as a mix of Occam’s Razor and Hanlon’s Razor.
The simplest explanation supported by evidence led to the conclusion that the situation was a blend of incompetence and malice.
“If I go back, I don’t want to start on Saturday because I think that grossly misrepresents the problem,” Kennedy said, emphasizing the need to look at organizational issues, personnel selection, and training over the past three years in the Biden Administration.
Divine Intervention Saves Trump
Kennedy highlighted the near-fatal nature of the attack, stating, “The only reason that man is not dead, that the former President Trump is not dead, is because his head at the very last second changed a few degrees and a bullet went past his ear.”
He attributed Trump’s survival to divine intervention or sheer luck.
Security Failures and Organizational Ineptitude
Kennedy criticized the security detail’s failures, pointing out a series of organizational and training issues.
“This is the most premier security detail on the planet. This is the standard that everybody looks to,” he said, lamenting the lack of competence and preparedness displayed on Saturday.
He also mentioned the broader implications of these failures, citing the current leadership in the White House and personnel within the Department of Homeland Security and Secret Service as inadequate.
Analyzing the Shooter and Counter-Sniper Response
Kennedy provided a detailed analysis of the shooter’s actions and the counter-sniper team’s response. He described how the shooter climbed a negative pitch roof and had a clear line of sight to Trump.
Despite the obvious threat, the security detail failed to act swiftly.
Kennedy noted, “It starts becoming very evident about where, how, and how dangerous this situation not just was but currently is because it’s not fixed.”
Inept Security Response and Organizational Failures
Kennedy did not mince words about the security team’s response, criticizing their preparedness and actions.
He highlighted how local law enforcement and Homeland Security contractors were inadequately prepared, leading to a chaotic and ineffective response.
He called for immediate firings and overhauls within the Secret Service and Homeland Security, stressing the need for competent and capable personnel.

Holy sh*t.
Mills explained how everything about the incident made no sense.

A Call for Private Security
Kennedy suggested that for Trump’s safety in the upcoming months, private security might be necessary.
He mentioned the need for someone like Eric Prince to handle the situation, given the current inadequacies within the government-appointed security teams.
Conclusion
The attempted assassination on former President Donald Trump has exposed significant flaws within the security details tasked with protecting high-profile individuals.
Kennedy’s insights reveal a need for immediate changes and highlight the broader implications of such organizational failures.
As the political landscape heats up, ensuring the safety and security of candidates remains a top priority.
What say you?

Okay, I’ll bite… Did Tim Kennedy just say that the energy alone from a 50 cal round traveling past, but not impacting, your arm will rip it off?!? “…The air displacement and the energy of that thing going by might rip that dude’s arm off.”
C’mon, man! You should know better than to spread such a myth… Honestly, it makes me question the rest of his input on this story.
Hey maybe Biden did it. After all if it worked he would have immunity wouldn’t he?

The bimbo strenuously objects to the truth. If she were interviewing a dem spouting their usual “he’s a Hitler!”, she’d be silent, nodding her head.
Re Collin Rugg’s comment: I am no expert but I am army trained and do a lot of rifle shooting. My first impression was that it was a setup. Unfortunately, Director Cheatle has not come forward with any facts to dissuade that opinion or ANY facts or information at all. And yes, a 140 yard shot is a “chip shot” for a practiced rifle shooter. Thank God for that miss. Sometimes I think the “Deep State” is taking cues from Mel Gibson’s movie “Conspiracy Theory.” I sincerely hope that is not the case and that the SS screw up was just unintentional. Stay safe. j
That was the best interview I have seen.Objective, to the point and spot on. Just excellent. Thank you.
I was in college when Kennedy was assasinated and we still don’t know the truth. It’s only right that Cory Mills should question what was behind this attempt as a possible setup. Total fumble and private security sure looks more feasable.
Not a single 2A soul gives a shit about what Tim I hate civilians with guns Kennedy has to say.
Where will YOU be when diversity strikes?
When did America become the land of the lowest common denominator?
If this is indicative of the way the United States government functions, shouldn’t taxpayers be entitled to a refund plus damages, as well as compensation for pain and suffering? Any trial lawyer would say HELL YES.
With the information currently available about the ASSASSINATION attempt, how am I and millions of Americans supposed to believe that THIS WASN’T A CONSPIRACY?
Finally, “investors” are currently working on finding out who the shooter was having encrypted communications with in Belgium, Germany and New Zealand, might I remind people that these three countries were countries used by the CIA to “interrogate” people/terrorists after 9-11-2001.
Wasn’t James Clapper and John Brennan both part of that?
Russia, Russia, Russia.
Call me a conspiracy theorist but I’m pretty sure that kid didn’t wake up one morning and say, “I think I’ll shoot the President, somebody, somewhere mind-F☆♧♤ED that kid and convinced him that he could make a difference if he would just act.
I say that when “DEI” becomes the determining factor in selecting personnel for critically important LE/Military/Public Safety roles, only one result is guaranteed… many more innocents will DIE. They obviously placed the acronym’s letters in the wrong order.
All of the incompetence and failures make perfect sense when seen as a government sponsored assassination attempt.
Yet another short coming or grotesque failure of this administration to do anything remotely close to what needs to be done. 3 words, withdrawal from Afganistan. That was Biden’ s Benghazi
We now know the basics of the dubious secret service failures. The other side of the coin is how can the various razors explain Mathew Crook’s unlikely luck of penetrating a security zone with at least a rifle and then somehow establishing a relatively secure firing position without Trump being wisked away be a competant team. Did Crooks know which roofs would be occupied and which would be unsecure? How did Crooks plan for the many Secret Service security breakdowns? Did a rather unremarkable kid stumble into an area that is expected to be secure by some of the most highly trained experts in this solar system?
“How did Crooks plan for the many Secret Service security breakdowns?”
This is the best question asked by anyone since last Saturated night!
